Excerpt from High-Tension Power Transmission
At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, held September 26, 1902, the following resolution was passed:
"Resolved, That a Committee on High-Tension Transmission, consisting of five members, may be appointed for the purpose of collecting data respecting present practise in electric transmission at high voltage, and of presenting a report which will indicate the successful methods which are now in operation in such form as to be of immediate value to electrical engineers. It is within the scope of the Committee to secure data upon line construction, insulators, insulator-pins, and the like, and the conditions of operation at different voltages and under different climatic conditions; to investigate methods of testing insulators, and to indicate the method or methods which in its judgment are superior. Also to ascertain the methods employed for voltage regulation, the conditions attendant upon the switching of high-tension circuits, and to collect data respecting lightning and static disturbances and the use of grounded protective wires."
The Transmission Committee, appointed in accordance with this resolution, decided to adopt two methods of procedure. One of these was to send out printed lists of questions, relative to high-tension transmission, to the various transmission plants in the United States, with a request that answers to the questions be filled in and the fists returned.
The other was that of instituting discussions on chosen topics which would bring forth from the engineers taking part in these discussions information in regard to the work in question, which could not otherwise be obtained. These discussions took place on regular meeting evenings of the Institute, the particular meeting for which they were arranged being directly under the auspices of the Transmission Committee.
